Big 8.2 Along With Lots of Shaking at Epicenter Near Fiji Islands Over This Weekend!!! Also a LOT of Shaking at Around Indonesia This Weekend, Too!!! Watch All Around That Pacific Tectonic Plate, Now!!!

BIG, BIG 8.2 Struck just a little over 100 miles to the east of Fiji as the list of nearby places will show, here! Next there was also a big 7 Magnitude Earthquake at Indonesia and the two epicenters actually both shook virtually all weekend long. . . and still continue to shake at press time as all the following info will show starting with the USGS Report on the 8.2 Fiji Shaker:

8.2 - 281km NNE of Ndoi Island, Fiji
2018-08-19 00:19:37 UTC 18.165°S 178.144°W 559.6 km depth

Here's that "E-Mail Version" of the USGS Report on the 6.6 Alaska Islands Earthquake last week, and you will notice there's a brief explanation of which is Andreanof, and which is Aleutian Islands!!! Methinks Aleutian is the "Chain". . . and Andreanof is a series of islands in the Aleutian Islands Chain:

Nothing else much happened at this epicenter, but here's the USGS Report on Big Bear Lake:

3.2 - 6km NNW of Big Bear Lake, CA
2018-08-18 16:02:05 UTC 34.299°N 116.933°W 4.9 km depth

Nearby Places:
3.7 MIles NNW of Big Bear Lake, CA
5.6 Miles WNW of Big Bear City, CA
9.9 Miles South of Lucerne Valley, CA
11.8 Miles ENE of Running Springs, CA
23.6 Miles ENE of San Bernardino, CA

By the location near Providence, I expected more felt reports, but considering the distance offshore such as may be the case with any of these towns being near the coast, it appears it was offshore too far at a 2.4 for anybody to actually feel this one and report it to USGS, but it's sure near a populated region, there!!!

2.4 - 83km ESE of Nantucket, Massachusetts
2018-08-18 21:21:27 UTC 41.130°N 69.126°W 5.0 km depth

Nearby Places:

62.5 Miles SE of Harwich, Massachusetts
66.3 Miles SE of South Yarmouth, Massachusetts
69.7 Miles SE of Yarmouth, Massachusetts
128.0 Miles ESE of Providence, Rhode Island

There are other felt reports and there will be still more lists to run updates on along with at least one earthquake at Italy, one at Turkey and a series at Islands of Japan that was more in the 4 or 5 Magnitude Range and all that I'll try to get to later in the week! Just all that Major Shaking right at the moment needed to be posted. And with that you're up-to-date on all the biggest earthquakes!!! NOW keep in mind the Pacific Tectonic Plate will continue to move and Chile is next in line, although with that much movement we'll also need to watch places such as New Zealand, Hawaii, Guam, and possibly California!!! Lots of other places are situated around those tectonic plates, too!!! Be Watching!!!
